I'm just like y'all

I've had a shit week, followed by a pretty shitty weekend. I did get to hang with my kid a bit more than usual, but it was because we spent all day in the hospital. (No worries, he's fine. I think). I thought, as I take a sip of my second glass of wine after working all day (my RL job), I would share that sometimes life gets overwhelming for everyone, me included. Typically, I run through life crashing into to shit and knocking it down, but every once in a while I get the breath knocked out of me. I know everyone does, whether its the potential illness of child, the loss of a loved one or sometimes it could be something stupid that is the last straw in the huge pile of shit you've been shoveling. I want to tell you I've been there. I've shoveled shit and fallen in it actually. I want to tell you that you guys make me a better person and give me perspective on things that sometimes get to be too much.

People that take the time to read my books that I've poured my booze soaked sweat into make my world right again. When my world tilts a bit of the right I have people that tell me to get my shit together and get going. It's when it shifts to left that I allow myself to wallow, just for a bit. I'm a big believer in letting yourself wallow if you need it, just for a little while. Then pour yourself a drink or whatever you do and get the fuck over it. This is me getting the fuck over it.

Shovel
Wallow
Drink
Walk away, head high

Cheers and much love.
